Sandy works with both adults and children seeking help for a variety of problems, including depression, anxiety, addictions, and relationship issues.

He empowers couples to examine how they communicate or "get in the way of" communication and intimacy. He also focuses on present moment experience, personal responsibility, and mindfulness.

He is a Board Certified Music Therapist and is certified as a Gestalt therapist from the Gestalt Institute of the Rockies, where he continues to pursue advanced studies in couples and family therapy.
